You can specify a server’s IP address in either manual or automatic MFF mode. The server can be a
DHCP server, a server providing some other service, or the real IP address of a VRRP standby group.
After you specify a server’s IP address and then an ARP request from the server is received, the MFF
device will search the IP-to-MAC address entries it has stored, and reply with the corresponding MAC
address to the server. As a result, packets from a host to a server are forwarded by the gateway, but
packets from a server to a host are not forwarded by the gateway.

Network requirements
As shown in
, all the devices are in VLAN 100. Host A, Host B, and Host C obtain IP addresses
from the DHCP server. They are isolated at Layer 2, and can communicate with each other through the
gateway. MFF automatic mode is enabled on Switch A and Switch B.
